Social Kitchen and Bar Archives - Frameable Faces Photography

Nick is next up in our Class of 2017 blog posts, and yes he’s the subject of the last of these, but he’s far from the least! This guy is great – bursting with personality and we liked him the minute we met him. Funny enough we ended up sealing the deal with him representing our studio as a spokesmodel when Ally and I went out to eat at Social Kitchen and Bar in Birmingham – Nick was the host that night and we didn’t even know it! He was the first person to greet us when we walked in (we had already met with him and his mom Sally)! Everything about that night was pretty cool as a side note – the restaurant has owners who are parents of one of our seniors, three of our former seniors work there, and now we’ve got Nick! You should eat there – it’s awesome.

Nick Is Next…

But back to Nick. This guy showed up with what seemed like a whole closet of clothes (according to him only a third of his wardrobe) and let’s just say the kid has style! We joked that day and since that ya gotta have options! Lol… Let’s start with a formal shot on the black background:

What a stud.

At this point we headed outside because we wanted to get some variety in Birmingham, but before we look at those let’s see some behind the scenes action – first with our 6 second Vine for your looping pleasure…

Now for your extended viewing if you like here are the replays of our live Periscope broadcasts from our day. If you haven’t downloaded Periscope yet you can do so and follow us at @FrameableFaces at this link.

Okay now for the location photos… Shades, sun, flowers, steps, casual pose – cool!

And more steps….but a totally different aesthetic….

And we’ll leave you with this one – we like cityscapes with brick, alleys and the like!

Another awesome spokesmodel and another awesome session! We may still have some fun recaps coming about our Class of 2017 team, but even more exciting we’ll have new seniors to present soon – including a new round of posts featuring this awesome crew of 9 as they return for their own senior pictures!

Class of 2017 spokesmodel season in full swing

We headed out with two new spokesmodels from the class of 2017 to get some photos in Detroit and it was an epic day with Aria and Maya along with their moms and Aria’s little sister Sedona, complete with burgers for lunch in Corktown at the Mercury Bar. We spent some time photographing the girls at The Belt Alley which was our first time doing a session there. We will have plenty more to come from the session but here’s a little behind the scenes fisheye shot made with my iPhone and an Ollo Clip.

Frameable Day

After we finished our day we had dinner plans with some friends at Social Kitchen and Bar in Birmingham. We had been meaning to get there for some time since we had heard nothing but great things about it and the owners are clients of ours with a current class of 2016 senior – Cooper. Let’s just say all the great things we heard were true. The food and the drinks were amazing – Ally got the sea bass and I got the short rib French dip sandwich. I also had a Social Mule to drink which was amazing…. and speaking of drinks, the bartenders were former seniors of ours!!! Mark and David from the class of 2012! We hadn’t seen them in a while and David’s name had just come up in conversation recently… Crazy!

Here are a couple of photos from their sessions which were both done in Birmingham:

First Mark – this was the original fence shot we did… Hard to believe these two sessions took place over 4 years ago already…

Next David – a night time shot using off-camera flash with the rain starting to fall…

And here we are with them the other night!!!

With former Senior Friends Mark and David at Social in Birmingham!

So much fun! Great weather, great city, great spokesmodels, great food, and a great little reunion! A truly FRAMEABLE DAY!!!
